Labor Unions: Icons Of Socialism

“Right-thinking” liberal-progressives turn a blind eye to misdeeds of labor unions, because unions are the very essence of socialism: forcible redistribution of wealth, without any regard whatsoever for the public good.

Public employee unions continue obstinately demanding more, even though what they have already extorted is bankrupting governments at all levels. Liberal-progressives condone any degree of brutality in the name of implementing Marxian social justice, just as in the 1920s and 1930s they supported the Soviet Union’s mass murders under Lenin and Stalin. Not to mention the fact that labor unions are among the largest funders of the Democrat-Socialist Party.
